Was he about to say something sweet, something to hit that Dad button deep in the core of my being? I love it when they just, out of the blue, say something like “Papa, I love you,” and I began smiling in anticipation.
After a moment of patting my head he finally said with amusement, “Papa, I can see your brain.”
“My brain?” I asked, oblivious.
“Yes, at the top of your head.”
It wasn’t the best way to learn my hair is thinning up there, but far from the worst :-).

Absolutely adorable!!! One night when my oldest son Twitch was about 6 my husband was putting him to bed. The boy slept on the top bunk, and had a good view of the top of Superman's head. He looked at it for a moment, then said "Dad, you have a clearing." Twitch and I had been on a walk in the woods earlier that day and had come to a clearing, and I explained that an open space in an otherwise wooded area like this is called a clearing. So that's what he discovered on Daddy's head!
I can hear it now. "No, Brian, it is not polite to ask the fat lady if she has a baby in her tummy."
Java: "Dad, you have a clearing."
LOL, that's a pleasant euphemism for going bald.
Paul: we've already had to have the "You don't ask ladies their age" talk.
this is what we live for as parents....the love and adoration of our children...then to be told the truth in such a blunt, unstilted way which is full of love and compassion.
It's very good to see your font again, Sean. :-)
